Fine-tune smaller AI models using agent traces from Langfuse/LangSmith

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article details a method for fine-tuning smaller AI models using data from agent traces logged in platforms like Langfuse or LangSmith. The process involves selecting high-quality traces, cleaning them, and using them to train a model for specific agent tasks. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right agent step to train and carefully curating traces based on output validity, automated evaluations, user feedback, or human corrections. The piece also highlights potential legal and policy implications regarding the use of outputs from models like OpenAI's and Anthropic's for training purposes, advising users to consult legal counsel.

    How to fine-tune a small model on your Langfuse or LangSmith traces

    <p>If your agent logs to Langfuse or LangSmith, you already have a record of it doing its job thousands of times. Each record is called a trace, and it holds the input, every model and tool call along the way, and the output. Those traces can train a small model you own to do one…
